Ask HN: Can you share your problems?

Many of us are here in search of new business ideas. Maybe your problem can reveal a business idea. I don't think it will work, but it's worth trying.

How about a spice dispenser that measures out the right kinds of seasoning for a recipe. If you are in the flavored rice section of the grocery there are tons of seasoned rice or grain products. Plain rice is much cheaper and probably better anyway. And those products could be threatened by the spice machine. Mexican rice costs about 2.50 but raw materials cost the company only a small fraction to produce it.

Adding value is a good way to have a business objective. If you take something cheap and sell it a high multiples you got something promising.
